Sweathouse by Rosanna Cooney

Sweathouse: The Rediscovery of Ireland's Ancient Sauna Tradition. Across Ireland, saunas are fast becoming vibrant community spaces - drawing thousands to the elemental power of fire, water, steam, and sweat. But this so-called "new trend" has deep roots in Irish history. 

Sweathouse uncovers the forgotten legacy of Ireland's 3,000-year-old sauna tradition. Blending thorough research with rich personal storytelling, Rosanna Cooney explores ancient stone sweathouses, unearths their mysteries, and reveals Ireland's surprising role in the global story of sweat bathing. 

Travelling across Europe to some of the world's most magical sauna cultures, Cooney gathers insights and rituals that offer transformative physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. This book is both a cultural exploration and a practical guide - perfect for wellness enthusiasts, history lovers, and anyone curious about the power of sauna.
